Full FeedAre we expecting too much from Apple?
I love to follow the rumors and guess at product lines from Apple just as much as anyone. I am proclaiming my fanboyism. I think I just made up a word. A bad one at that. Anyway I think that we have come to expect to much from our beloved folks at 1 Infinite Way out in Cupertino. They have absolutely destroyed the competitive companies on so many platforms that we come to expect it from every product that comes from Ives & Co.
Take the most recent updates to the Mac Mini. People were disappointed that they did not redesign the entire machine into a super computer in the size of a piece of bread. I admit I am being over dramatic, but my point is that they made the thing 33% faster across the board. That is significant to someone like me who owns and will be buying two more of them. They are perfect for my 12- and 9-year-old kids.
We cannot always get an iPhone or an iPod announcement from Apple every quarter. That is just not how it works. I am willing to bet that Apple is not done reinventing an entire product line (I am with everyone in wanting a “netbook”), but we seem to be expecting things Apple can not realistically deliver. I think Apple announced great updates to great products last week, and we should be glad they are still making things better. I understand that two years in-between Mini updates is a bit ridiculous, but we should take what we can when we can and stop demanding unrealistic product announcements.

iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.

As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
You shouldn’t just “get what you can”. Apple will not exist if not for their loyal costumers, and they owe it to them to deliver amazing products each and every time. A few bad moves will turn everything against them.
